Question
[edit]Since he was expelled by the BNP is he still President For Life?213.205.251.95 (talk) 23:19, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
Sorry if I'm violating protocol, but I don't know where to put this. Griffin is quoted in the article as saying: "a lot of people find the sight of two grown men kissing in public really creepy. I understand that homosexuals don't understand that but that's how a lot of us [Christians] feel." when what he actually said according to the linked source was: "a lot of people find the sight of two grown men kissing in public really creepy. I understand that homosexuals don't understand that but that's how a lot of us feel, Christians feel that way, Muslims, all sorts of people." I do not think the quotation as given in the article accurately represents this statement. Signed previous comment by129.21.66.206 (talk) 23:57, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
I put that in and have edited it out, thanks for pointing out the inaccuracy.--Phil of rel (talk) 19:08, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
Category
[edit]can someone add Category:One-eyed people to the article. Posted at 1:22, 10 May 2015 by User:203.190.222.222
- Done. And removed from this talk page. But is it of any real importance? Emeraude (talk) 18:18, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
- Agree entirely. Would you make a special category for people with one bollock? --OhNoPeedyPeebles (talk) 21:45, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 2 October 2018
[edit]This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Nick Griffin and his wife no longer live in Llanerfyl, Powys, Wales but moved to a house in Shropshire, England in 2018. This reference should be changed on the information panel on the top right, along with the reference under Personal Life.
Information panel: "Residence - Llanerfyl, Powys, Wales", should be changed to, "Residence - Shropshire, England"
Personal Life: "Griffin lives with his family in a farmhouse in Llanerfyl, near Welshpool, in Wales.", should be changed to, "Griffin lives with his family in Shropshire, England."

Many thanks! Uncleben2018 (talk) 20:21, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

- He has got a bit of coverage in the Shropshire Star, but I cannot find anything that established he lives there, though I did find a referencing to him wanting to move the Hungary.Slatersteven (talk) 13:59, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
Place of residence is out of date
[edit]Article states "Griffin lives with his family in a farmhouse in Llanerfyl, near Welshpool, in Wales."
I live in the property next door and griffin sold the farmhouse about two years ago and no longer lives there.

- Prefixed this statement with "As of 2009 ..." to suggest it's dated. --h2g2bob (talk) 21:54, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
Thanks!
This is the record of the sale on nethouseprices.com. The name of the property is Y Gribbin, not "Cribbin".
